Following entertainer and webtoon artist Kian84 (real name Kim Heemin), an artwork by WINNER's member Song Mino has also appeared on a secondhand marketplace platform. The listing is drawing even more attention as the seller is reportedly the same person.
Recently, user A posted a listing on a secondhand marketplace platform to sell Song Mino's artwork 'The Giraffe Painting I Drew 1' for 4,751,111 KRW. The seller also provided detailed descriptions of the artwork's size and frame specifications, noting that it is 'a print piece in an acrylic frame.' No specific reason for the sale was disclosed.
The artwork is part of a series that Song Mino showcased during his first solo exhibition, 'Thanking You,' which ran from December 2022 to February 5, 2023.
Only parts of the giraffe's neck and torso is visible in the artwork. At the time, Song Mino explained the meaning behind it, saying, "It represents how immeasurable my ambitions, greed, and goals are. Since I have a profession where I receive a lot of love and try to give that love back, I used many heart symbols in it."
Previously, user A had also listed Kian84's artwork 'Starry Cheongdam' on the same site. The artwork was initially listed for 150 million KRW before adjusting it to 190 million KRW later. The post has since been deleted.
'Starry Cheongdam' is a parody of 'The Starry Night' by Vincent Van Gogh. It was first revealed at Kian84's first solo exhibition, 'Full Ownership,' in 2022. It was also introduced on the MBC's 'I Live Alone,' where he is a regular cast member.
This is not the first time Kian84's artwork has appeared as a high-priced secondhand listing. In 2024, another artwork titled 'Life Adjustment Time 4' was listed for 30 million KRW on a secondhand marketplace in the Gangnam area before the price was later adjusted to 21 million KRW.
Meanwhile, Song Mino was brought to trial on charges of neglicence of duty, including being absent without leave for a total of 102 days while serving as a public service worker at a facility in Mapo-gu, Seoul, from March 2023 to December 2024. The prosecution recently requested a prison sentence of one year and six months for him.
